Day by Day

Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, you’ll depart from Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park, known for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. The park is especially vibrant during the calving season, as zebra and wildebeest give birth here. You’ll spend the day exploring the park, spotting newborn animals and other wildlife, including lions, giraffes, and various bird species. In the evening, you’ll stay at a lodge or camp near the park, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings.

Day 2: Tarangire to Serengeti National Park

On day two, head towards Serengeti National Park, one of the best-known wildlife destinations in the world. During the calving season, the Serengeti’s southern plains come alive with thousands of wildebeest and zebras giving birth. This is also a great time for predator sightings, as lions and cheetahs are often seen hunting. The day will be spent game driving across the park, taking in the expansive landscapes and observing the dramatic wildlife action. Overnight, stay in a lodge or tented camp within the Serengeti.

Day 3: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you’ll depart for the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most unique wildlife locations on the planet. The calving season here is particularly significant, as the rich volcanic soil supports abundant grasslands and wildlife, including elephants, lions, and rhinos. The crater’s floor is home to large herds of wildebeest and zebras, and the sightings of young animals are frequent. In the evening, you’ll stay at a lodge with a view of the crater rim, soaking in the breathtaking scenery.

Day 4: Maasai and Hadzabe Tribe Visit, Return to Arusha

After breakfast, you will set out with a picnic lunch for a full-day game drive. Serengeti National Park is one of the world’s greatest game parks. Meaning “endless plains” in the Maasai language, it is Tanzania’s oldest game reserve and is world-famous for the role it plays in the annual Great Migration when an estimated two million herbivores – mostly wildebeest and zebra – migrate from the Serengeti to Kenya’s Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
